ABOUT THE LESBIANS WHO TECH + ALLIES NEW YORK LEADERSHIP SUMMIT

Please join us in New York on September 11-13th for the Lesbians Who Tech + Allies Leadership Summit for mid-level and executive non-binary, LGBTQ women and our allies. This summit will bring our most accomplished leaders for an intimate conference focused on both technology trends and all things YOU. This will be a smaller Summit from past New York Summits because we want to focus on a more curated experience for our mid-level and executive members. Please apply if you are interested in both our Leadership Summit or our Satellite events.

We’ve been called, “The best tech conference, ever, ” and, “The most diverse tech conference they’ve ever been to,” and our favorite, “It’s like TED, but with cooler people.” We are a tech conference first. A tech conference where the speakers happen to be 80% queer women, 50% women of color, 25% black & latinx and 15% transgender and gender non-conforming. We cover topics from top technical trends, how technology will shape our future, career growth, so our community can grow and thrive. You can view our past Summit agenda below as well as use our letter below to help convince your boss.

“If you’re just thinking of going, STOP. Make your plane, train, whatever reservation right now. It was life changing to be there. Closest thing to utopia I’ve experienced. If you’re wondering if you are not techy enough, STOP. You are!”
